Mukautetussa

Mukautetussa is the inessive singular form of the Finnish adjective mukautettu, meaning “customized” or “adapted.” It is not a standalone lexical item but a case-inflected form used with a following noun in the inessive case, often to indicate something exists or is provided in a customized form. The base adjective mukautettu comes from the verb mukautua, meaning “to adapt” or “to tailor.”

In practice, mukautetussa appears in phrases such as mukautetussa versiossa (in a customized version), mukautetussa muodossa (in a customized form), or mukautetussa ympäristössä (in a customized environment). These constructions are common in IT, product design, manufacturing, and services when describing offerings tailored to a specific user or context. For example: Ohjelmisto on saatavilla mukautetussa versiossa asiakkaan tarpeiden mukaan. Laite voidaan toimittaa mukautetussa muodossa. Järjestelmä toimii mukautetussa ympäristössä.

Linguistically, mukautetussa is an inflected form rather than a separate concept. Its meaning depends on the accompanying noun and the broader context of adaptation or customization. The word highlights that a process of tailoring has occurred, rather than describing an intrinsic, unaltered state. For non-Finnish readers, recognizing mukautetun/mukautetussa forms helps parse sentences that refer to customized versions, forms, or environments.
